For the latest installment of "Deconstructed," Genius sits down with ATL producer London On Da Track to learn how he created the beat for Drake's "Sneakin" featuring 21 Savage.

In just over three minutes, London shows us how he started with a simple, eerie guitar hook and slowed it down to half speed before adding in the rest of the instrumental arrangements. Adding some anecdotal background, he also recalls the day he sent the finished beat to Drake, which quickly resulted in the final track we're blessed with today.

Enjoy the video above and listen to "Sneakin" below.
